HORSESI-IOE.

Application filed. October 18, 1921.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, THOMAS Nozvr, a citizen of the United States,residin at Graham, in the county of Pierce and mm of l l ashington, haveinvented new and useful Improvements in Horseshoes, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to a horseshoe, the general object of theinvention being to pro vide a shoe which can be easily and quicklyplaced on a horses hoojf or removed therefrom.

Another object of the invention is to attach. a boot to the shoe withmeans for strapping the boot to the horses foot.

A further object of the invention is to provide removable calks on theshoe.

This invention also consists in certain other features of constructionand in the combination and arrangement oi? the several parts, to behereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings,and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to theaccompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like orcorresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure Iis a side View of the invention,

Fig. 2 is a front View,

Fig. 3 is a plan view,

Fig. i is a rear View with parts broken away,

Fig. 5 is a sectional view, and

Figs. 6 and 7 are detail views of the calks in position.

In these views 1 indicates the shoe to which the boot 2 secured. Thisboot consists of the lower part 3 formed of metal and the upper part 4.formed of canvas, rubber, or the like. ilhese parts are suitably securedtogether and the metal part is 'ijormed of two portions which areconnected together by the screws 5. A bottom piece 6 extends over theshoe and forms a bottom for the boot. This plate and the boot aresecured to the shoe by nails, screws, or the like. A flap 7 is alsoprovided at the rear of the boot, this flap being secured to a metalstrip 8 which is pivotally secured to the heel portions of the shoe, asshown at 9.

Serial No. 508,424.

This flap 7 is adapted to fill the space between the adjacent edges ofthe boot and the boot is held around the horses foot by means of thestraps 10.

Calks 11 and 11 are removably secured to the bottom of the shoe, the toecalks ll be ing placed side by side and connected together by the screw12.

From the above it will be seen that the shoe can be easily and quicklyattached to the horses hoof by the boot and that this boot will protectthe hoof and fetlocks. The metal portions 01? the boot are made ofspring metal so that they will grip the hoof when placed thereon.

It is thought from the :t'oregoing description that the advantages andnovel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the constructionand in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, providedthat such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

lVhat I claim is 1. A. shoe of the class described comprising a shoe, aboot connected therewith comprising a lower metal part and an upperflexible part. means for strapping the flexible part around the horsesfoot, and a flap pivotally secured to the heel part or the shoe andextending between the adjacent edges oi the boot.

2. A shoe oi the class described comprising a shoe part, a boot securedthereto and consisting of a lower metal part and an upper flexible part,buckle-carrying straps secured to said boot at the rear thereof, atongue for the boot pivot-ally secured to the heel part of the shoe, andcalks detachably connected with the bottom of the shoe.

3. A. shoe of the class described comprising a shoe part, a boot securedthereto and con sisting of a lower metal part and an upper flexiblepart, buckle-carrying straps secured to said boot at the rear thereof, atongue for the boot pivotally secured to the heel part of the shoe, andcalks detachably connected with the bottom of the shoe, the toe calksbeing placed side by side and connected together.
